Read on to learn more
about the composition of our team, our first social, and a chance to meet the
coaches and team chat.
Hi Jr Ranger Families!
Welcome to your first newsletter
for the U16 BB/B Red team. We use this as a means to connect with parents
and share information about upcoming schedule additions, events, and other news
worthy topics.
U16 BB/B RED PLAYERS
First off, congratulations to the
17 athletes who were selected for the U16 BB/B Red team for the ‘24/’25
season. The players were chosen to put together the best ‘team’ oriented
squad we could possibly assemble. There may have been better individually
skilled players, but we chose based on hard work, determination and the team
game each player showcased. In our years of experience, these traits are
what make for a great experience both on and off the ice.

PLAYER/PARENT SOCIAL
We have organized a quick
player/parent social. We thought it was a great way for the players to
get connected before the summer break. We have chosen Saturday June
8, from 3pm-5pm at Peak
Fitness in St Agatha. We’ll organize some ice
breakers for the players, a game of volleyball followed by a pot luck to
socialize a bit.
We’ll
also bring jerseys to select our numbers and jersey sizes for
next year. So bring your shoulder pads / elbow pads if you want an
accurate fit.
Please stay tuned for a message
from our Team Manager, Paige Barnard on more details about the team social in a
couple weeks. Thank you also to our other volunteers to help fill the Treasurer, Fund Raising and EAP roles.
TELEGRAM
We’ve set up a team Telegram chat
group for coaches to send time sensitive messages and for parents to stay
connected. Please reply to my note if you have not been added, or wish to
add more family members to the group. Paige will get you all set up.
That’s it for now. See you
in a couple weeks. It is 114 days until the start of the regular
season. Not that I’m counting or anything…
